Cinemark was sued in the wake of the Aurora shooting, and their defense has been there was no way for them to expect something like that to happen. In this case, the threats they've received would prevent that defense, and the theaters don't want to take on that liability.
- branchless 12y agoIf this is true the legal system is absurd and we might as well hand the whole shebang over to Putin.
- imglorp 12y agoIf this is a trend, then there is a new form of censorship arising. Will we end up where anyone that dislikes a message in a movie can make some random threats and have it pulled by liability fearing theaters?
- desdiv 12y agoAnyone can sue anyone over anything. I can sue Cinemark over the sky not being green, but it doesn't mean I'll win. The lawsuit you're referring to was dismissed[0]. So bring it up proves nothing. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Aurora_shooting#Civil_litigation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Aurora_shooting#Civil_liti...
